The North of Spain is still traversed by bands of
insurrectionary Guerill,as ; but the latest accounts confirm the previous statements of 'the suppression of the rebellion on all important points. Ahem) is still, and is likely to remain, at large. The Duke of SAN FERNANDO, the 'reported successor of ZEA BERMUDEZ, has arrived at Madrid : he was welcomed heartily by n numerous procession of Liberals, who went out to meet him. General Roam, the Captain-General of Estremadura, has crossed the Portuguese frontier, at the head of a considerable force, ig search of Don CARLOS; whom he almost surprised at Miranda, and compelled to fly precipitately to Chaves. General MoeiLto at the same time advanced as far as Braganza, but was equally unsuccessful. These unexpected acts of vigour are supposed to have been determined on by ZEA BERMUDEZ in the hope of -gaining a little -popularity with the Liberals. We perceive that the Morning Pot treats this violation of the Portuguese territory as one which the British Government is bound by treaty to resent : butt there is every probability that the step was taken in accord ance with, perhaps at the suggestion of, the lawful Sovereign of Portugal, whose rights we have acknowledged. That portion of Portugal, which the Spaniards have invaded, our Government considers in a state of rebellion, and therefore not under its pro- tection.
